About
Sterling Hills Golf Club sprawls across acres of lush countryside surrounded by avocado groves and citrus orchards. The layout winds through the verdant hills between Oxnard and Ventura. The club opened in 1999 as the only public golf course in Ventura County. The layout is player-friendly enough for beginners to still feel comfortable but it also packs a considerable amount of challenges. The versatile layout balances areas of wide-openness with target-style golf. There is contoured mounding along the fairways and some interesting elevation changes. Thanks to the hilly terrain, there is hardly a flat lie to be found. Although Sterling Hills is still relatively young, there are some mature eucalyptus trees throughout. Golfers can warm-up on the driving range, chipping area, or putting green before the game since a bucket of range balls is included with the round.

Pay full price with perks
We saved about $5 with golf pass but the better deal is direct with the course which includes a bucket of balls and a sandwich at the clubhouse. The course was beautiful with wide fairways and nice elevation changes. I was impressed with the rudeness of the staff when checking in but maybe it was only one guy having a bad day. The starter and the rest of the staff were great. Thumbs up.

Slow play
5 1/2 hours is ridiculous for this course. No marshals doing anything about it. Can't wait for Buenaventura to reopen. We'll cancel Sterling next week and try Los Robles.

Birthday round
I’ve always like Sterling it’s a well maintained course with some challenging fairways very fun place to play or very frustrating to play an loose balls 😂
Thank you for taking the time to review Sterling Golf Course! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you find our course well maintained and challenging. We apologize for any frustration you may have experienced with loose balls.
OK course, overpriced
The course was well maintained except for the lack of sand in the bunkers. The staff was friendly. The snack bar is nominally priced with a beverage cart circulating around the course. I thought the greens fee was high for the course comparing it to other courses in the area.

Fun course and great company
I played this course at 4pm and just finished around 8:20 pm . Nice to play here after 4 years and the company was good . Husband and wife .

Course Layout
Layout very nice and quiet like per say … however I’d say for a person like me who’s not a Pro but likes to keep moving along… We caught up to a group of older players and then it dragged on.. Marshall’s need to Tell People Like Them To Keep Up Pace .. (if You Can’t find your Tee Shot..) drop and hit another .. Or on the Green .. just tell your playing partners that’s a Give Me (Ryder Cup Etiquette)

Great course and value
The course is in great shape and I always enjoy playing here. The staff - pro shop, marshalls, and cafe - are all so friendly and welcoming.
Unfortunately a few groups ahead were playing slowly and we got backed up a bit but we were in no rush, and just enjoying the outing.
